Check out "New Images" gallery for my latest shots. I will try to keep this gallery updated. I just posted some barn shots and some cool shots from my cemeteries file. I think a book about cemeteries is in my future. Your thoughts?

You can contact me @ 763-543-1049 or drop me an e-mail - pioneerphotos@comcast.net
